This follows significant increase in Measured, Indicated and Inferred Resources of copper deposits in the project site.
The initial Measured and Indicated Resource estimate was a 326 million tonnes of copper.
Project developers, Era Resources, say the highlights of the new resource estimate include:
• Measured and Indicated Resources total 728 million tons grading 0.33 percent copper, 0.01 percent molybdenum and 0.10 grams per ton (ppm) gold; or 0.39 percent copper equivalent
